Couples Counselling

Iwork with many couples who experience issues
within their relationship that have often caused both parties anxiety, stress
and uncertainty often not feeling listened to and isolated.

Remember we all have choices
and the Couples Counselling is a process to share how you feel and open up
discussion of often unsaid issues both recent and past that can achieve feeling
listened to and an insight to how the other party feels and ways of moving
forward if that is what you both want to do.

Usually at the first
appointment I meet you both and aim to look at what you are both wanting from
the relationship and are willing to enter into counselling to work towards a
better balance for you both.

I then offer the option of
seeing you both individually, which I find helps the process by enabling you to
focus on your own needs and looks at the impact on your health, well-being and
daily functioning as often appetite and sleep are impacted upon. Some couples
prefer to always attend together and as the process is about your needs the
pace and process is the way you are both comfortable to work within the
process.

Some couples attend a number
of sessions usually 6-12 and many will return for a check-in appointment at a
monthly interval and some clients will return every few months as a means of
keeping the focus on both parties needs and looking at positive progress and
use the time proactively valuing each others contribution in the relationship
